One might naturally ask. Why is this? The answer is not difficult. Modern custom and fashion have contracted id-i to their present small proportions; shoes have taken the place of sandals. Indeed, it is only one illustration of many, of what advanced civilization and fcis_ion_o. Tin. waists of women in ancient days were not so small as in the present aige of corsets. The health of women in undent times wan better than in our present day of social demands, household cares and hurried living. Women are wa akertlum they once were. Tie y feel depressed,...
